HI i have 04 s2k I just have a quick questions real quick i just got my A-pillar and oil pressure and oil temp gauge in, but i was just wandering if you need a oil filter sandwhich plate ( i think it goes on or by the oil filter) to install the or hook up the oil pressure and oil temp.

 

i have a friend with a turbo and he hooked up his oil pressure at the oil filter. don't know if you can tap into the oem wiring for oil temp though...

 

get a sandwich plate like greddy

 

I have the greddy one, works perfect.

 

same here...look for the greddy oil black sandwich adapter...depending on the gauges you have you may have to have to have the fittings on adapter machined...i did with my autometer gauges....but it's your best option...basically goes between the oil fiter and block and saves you from tapping into the motor...the readings are pretty accurate from what i've read up on...and not to mention it's an easy location to have it as you can route the wires perfectly...let me know if you need any more info i can even show you some pics of my setup...good luck

 

Where is the best place to buy,this Greedy adaptor???

Thank,s,

One thing to consider before buying a sandwich adapter: what sort of threads are on your temp and pressure sending unit? Chances are they are either 1/8" BSP or 1/8" NPT. They can either be tapered or non-tapered fittings.

The Greddy adapter (being Japanese) has 1/8" BSP threaded holes. I purchased the Greddy adapter before I found out that the SPA Designs guage I had purchased had 1/8" NPT threads. I then had to purchase another adapter off eBay with the correct threads.

Measure twice, cut (or buy) once.
